Playing golf can often become frustrating. From hitting a bad shot to missing a putt, an athlete can often find themselves at the receiving end of misfortune. Unfortunately, it seems this time around, it’s none other than Tyrrell Hatton, who has found himself in agony after a bad shot at the Sentry. Moreover, much to everyone’s shock, he followed it with an unexpected reaction.
A tweet was uploaded on X by a fan who was watching the golfer play his shot at the Plantation course in Maui. However, what followed was a typical case of a hot-headed Hatton as he went ahead to curse after the ball didn’t reach the greens!

A post was shared by NUCLR GOLF showcasing how the English professional hit the ball on a par-4 hole in Maui. Following his stroke, the ball went ahead to land on the rough just beside the greens, during which the 32-year-old was spotted screaming “GO! GO! GO!” But, as the ball bounced on the roughs, what followed was a frustrating “f**k you” by the pro.

This is not the first time that the 1X PGA Tour champ has had an outburst on the greens. Although he has made some notable achievements in the sport, he is more popular for his unexpected reactions to the misfortune he faces on the course. The 2020 Arnold Palmer Invitational winner once lost his temper at the Scottish Open last year when he was forced to take five extra strokes to putt the ball, eliciting a middle finger from the Englishman.
Was that all? Not even close! Although he had a forgettable first round at the AT&T Byron Nelson event in 2023, the fans would never forget his famous, or, should we say, infamous, flip-off at the sand trap on the ninth hole. Moreover, even the fans found it interesting, as they took to the internet to share their musings on the same.
On a similar note, the community had a lot to say this time as well when Hatton took to using profanities on the greens. Just a few hours after the video was posted, many took to liking and responding to the tweet, leading the comment box to blow up with the same.
Hatton’s insane reactions break the internet
There were a lot of reactions to the tweet, ranging from those expressing astonishment to hilarious ones pointing out the comedy in the situation. Nevertheless, the fans sure were in a world of their own, as many took to commenting under the same.

Being 16 under would normally place the athlete at the top. However, the Sentry witnessed a low-scoring event leading Hatton to place in the 14th position while the shot was being taken, as pointed out by a fan.
T14 with -16 that’s wild

Another follower decided to bring Dustin Johnson into the fray and pointed out the similarity between the two golfers
He’s so similar to DJ it’s scary

Another golf enthusiast found the reaction quite normal, as the player took to shouting out profanity on the course and considered it to be a “standard reaction.”
Standard reaction!

It seems one user did approve of the golfer’s action on the greens and thought of the Englishman being more suitable for LIV Golf given his hot temper.
He’s the one guy I was hoping would go to LIV from Day 1

Another fan pointed out the hilarious nature of the outburst all the while urging the community to see it as it is, a frustrated golfer venting out. Moreover, they also indicated that golf is such a sport that requires a certain level of expressing emotions.
He’s hilarious. Golf is an emotional sport. Let guys get it out.

Long associated with outbursts, the 32-year-old was once muted by the broadcasters during the 2022 WGC Dell Match Play. Well, a fan did not forget that instance as they mentioned how they thought The Sentry would do the same with the golfer. Hilarious, to be honest!
You’d think they’d have the bleeper or mute button on standby with Hatton 🤦🏽♂️
